Orland Police Search For Gunmen Who Claimed To Be Federal Agents

ORLAND PARK, IL — Orland Park police are searching for two men who identified themselves as federal agents Saturday night and shot at a man who escaped through a garage door.

Police said they were not federal agents and that the man was a target. The shooting was not a random act, they said.

According to police, a shot was fired at about 10:28 p.m. at the 11000 block of 167th Place. A man reported that he pulled his car into the garage, and when he got out of the car, two armed and masked men came up to him and told him they were federal agents. He ran away from them through a garage door and into his house, closing the door behind him. One of the men shot at him once through the closed door. No one was injured.

Orland Park police are searching for the two suspects, described as black men, each about 5-feet-11-inches tall, and weighing 185 to 200 pounds. They were driving a white, four-door vehicle. Anyone with information helpful to the investigation is asked to contact the Orland Park Police at 708-349-4111 or crimetips@orlandpark.org.
